Welcome
to The Picky Stuff. I don’t mean picky as in choosy, I’m talking about the fun
little snacks that everyone loves to pick on. From chips and dips to sliders
and miniature meals stacked on skewers and toothpicks, this blog is dedicated to
all of the bite-sized samples of deliciousness that keep us coming back for
seconds and thirds. Whether you call them hors d’oeuvres, meze, tapas, cicchetti,
amuse bouche, or cocktail party snacks, it’s all picky stuff to me.

I’m a cook
with formal training from the Culinary Institute of America. I love to write
and share my recipes, but most of all I like to have fun in the kitchen—and what
could be more fun than picky stuff? Creating big flavors and petite presentations make it exciting to both eat and prepare. If you ask me, the picky stuff is the best
part of a meal, if not an entire awesome picky meal in itself.

If it’s perfect
for picking, you’ll find it here. Consider it our virtual cocktail party. You
bring the cocktails and I’ll bring the food.
